muf Of black armure silk, trimmed with

} In looking over the fashion plstes ill9
tratiGg party costumes, one is tempted 10
believe that some Of the old family por-
traits have stepped out of their massive
frames, and, forgetful of srist0Crstic
lineage, are serving as models to the
| modern costumer. The youngest, Cs;nt-
| est Of the TOeebuds are adopting the short
waist and scant drapeTieS which combine
to form witching framing for youth and
beauty caprice Of fashion that may be
OF brief duration, but while il lasts lends
picturesqueness to the gay ballroom. The
universal becomingness Of tulle is reason
sufficient for the preference shown it, but
as the crush of one evening is time enough
| to rob it of its freshness, many young
ladies from economical considerations ere
| wearing heavier material. To meet this
demand, importers are introducing some
beautiful novelties in French faille, that,
| by their beauty of tint and soft sickness,
are recommending themselves to these
prudent bellies.
A pretty tulle dress is made Of alternate
layers Of pink and gray, novel efec.
over an uDderskirt of primrose satin.
The front Of the skirt is partially yelled
in bullrushes. yellow irises, and green
and purple grasses, ell bending down
their heads as though reflected n Inc
water.
Just whisper to the pretty dears. Do
not hastily discard the yellow tulle, you
never look more like precious yellow
rose than when enVeloped in its Devil
dering msze5. There is a time JUS!
ahead OF you, my sweet little maid, WGen
you have laid aside in careful wrapping
the white dress of the one occasion OF
your lives, and, as 8 conscientious Wile'
you will repress any longing desire ioE
gay attire, and buy your dress mol SO
much for It's beauty as its wearing
qualities. So now in the heyday OF LIE
gratifY the natural desire Of your heart 10
look IS pretty as you can. In the worlds
garden you are the primrOses, the tulPsi
psnsies and gay flowers, end as dreaI5
of beauty your life is not altogether g.
useless as carping critics would nave i
appear. A beautiful woman beautifully
attired is creation to make WoTId's
generation grateful.
Not many removes from this grAtltude
is the thought that fashion at last mind
full of the childTen's claims, no longer re-
quIres them to go bare legged, nor Wesr
dresses with neckcut low, and arms e4-
posed TO chilling currents. To see theA
now arrayed in wsrm woolens snu
